Top 20 college football stadiums you must see in your lifetime

13. Clemson Memorial Stadium

School: Clemson
Location: Clemson, S.C.
Capacity: 81,500

Home of the 2016 National Champions, Clemson Memorial Stadium features quite a few things you cannot see at any other stadium. It starts with the walk down into death valley while “rubbing the rock.” However, Howard’s Rock is just one of many unique things you can see at Clemson Memorial Stadium.

The east side of the stadium features “Clemson” written out in the upper concourse. The sea of orange that fans form during home games is also special whether you see it on television or witness it in person.

The “Tiger Walk” leads you down to the front of the stadium and to the site of Howard’s Rock that is a spectacular site in and of itself. You get washed over with an appalling sense of amazement when the East and West sides of the stadium open up when you approach the front gates. An enormous stadium seems to emerge out of nowhere when you finally reach Clemson Memorial Stadium on the campus of Clemson University.

Combining the tradition and uniqueness of Clemson Memorial Stadium means that you cannot leave this stadium off out of the top 15, let alone off the list completely. Head coach Dabo Swinney finally established the Tigers as a consistent player in the field of true championship contenders in the college football landscape and it’s awesome to finally recognize that.
